Death separates the nonbelievers she replied...

Religion
the bullet
that loads 
in your gun

Projecting
its damage
belief
zero-sum

Exclusion
delusion
its sights
center mass

To kill
nonbelievers

Jesus Christ Alright 
That's my fight 
He is my pride 
I don't need a fancy ride
To know that he is right 
He is the life 
The very air that I breathe 
How can't you see
The real me 
That is in Christ 
You have a choice 
But yeah nonbelievers 
Try to figure out what is right...

Be Good
Be good to all you meet and see
Go out of your way every day in some way
Do this no matter what you believe

On this day, nonbelievers will see
The unimaginable transpire

The earth overwhelmed by tragedy
People vanished, replaced by fire

As for those left behind
A flock of sheep without a Shepard

The words will taunt the herd

This is the day you will be left alone
No missionaries will try and change your mind

They reside at the feet of our God, beneath his throne
You, my friend have been left behind...

Gypsies garbed in colorful robes
fortune tellers on the seaside boardwalk
sneers they get from nonbelievers

hobos from Hoboken to Alcatraz
quietly passing the bottle to all in the boxcar

don’t confuse thieves with gypsies and tramps
we can say, “No,” to gypsies and refuse handouts to tramps
the desperate who steal find a new home in jail
